Behind The Scenes Erik Ellington Active Ad
Remember back in July when we asked who wanted to be in Ellington's next ad? Well, check it out…
It was rad watching this ad come together. We were supposed to shoot it at Hollywood High, but their security kicked us out before we even went in the school. Atiba, Erik, Chad the art director for Active, and Shane decided to move it to Hollywood Blvd, and have all the kids walk behind Erik while he skates down the street, or while he's walking holding his board.
So we all mobbed over to Hollywood Blvd. with about 25 kids. The “normal” people had no idea what was going on, the tourists were taking pictures and filming us. The rest is history, so check the video, and you should be seeing the ad any day now if you haven't already. The same photo was also used in the Active Pre-Holiday 2007 Catalog online now.

Congrats for everybody who showed up!
[...] OK, so Active had an open call to show up for an ad shoot for Erik Ellington. His fans showed up, they shot the ad and documented the process as well. I don’t know jack about Erik Ellington, but he comes off well in the short video, even taking the time to shake every extra’s hand and thank them personally. I imagine if you were a fan of his and got to meet him informally and be in one of his adverts you’d be age appropriately stoked. The ad is slick, but the reality is mundane. If you’ve ever wondered how these things go, spend a few minutes behind the scenes. [...]
this ad is gay.
dave vogt, you are right this ad is ***, it is probably the ***est ad I’ve ever seen. Hmmm…I wonder why our site bleeps out the word R-A-D. Oh well, stay *** dave.
